The horse's hooves were fast, and the rumbling sound of the horse's stamping completely covered out the shouting and killing at the south gate, making the earth tremble.
In just two quarters of an hour, Li Li led his army to the south gate, and met the generals Zhou Yu, Xu Chu, and Pang De, who had been waiting for a long time, as well as tens of thousands of war horsemen from the large camp on the north bank.
"The last general will welcome the lord into the city!"
"That's it. Why didn't you lead your army into the city, but stay here? ”
"My lord, when the city was just broken, the last general was about to lead his army into the city, but he saw that the lord had already arrived with his army, so he waited for the lord at the gate of the city. After all, now that Cao Cao is leading a large army into the city, we are already in control, so what's the harm in entering the city a moment later? Zhou Yu replied with a smile on his face.
Seeing that Zhou Yu's expression was relaxed, as if he didn't have any sense of crisis, Li Li couldn't help frowning slightly, and then looked up at the sky above Yecheng. I saw smoke over the east and west gates, and red fires flickered from time to time. Standing outside the south gate at this time, you can clearly hear the huge shouts and screams coming from the east and west gates and the city, obviously Cao Cao's army is fighting fiercely with Yuan's army at this moment.
"How many soldiers and horses does Cao Cao have? The siege soldiers and horses outside the east and west gates are also his army? Li Li asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Yu replied: "My lord, in the early morning, the reinforcements under Cao Cao's account have arrived, with a total of more than 80,000 reinforcements; plus more than 10,000 foot cavalry in Cao Cao's headquarters, a total of 100,000 troops. From the beginning of the child's time, Cao Cao led a large army to launch a strong attack on the east gate, the west gate and the south gate at the same time, until just now, the south gate was the first to be breached. Cao Cao had just led his army into the city, presumably not long after. The east and west gates will be self-defeating. Yecheng has been broken, the Yuan army in the city is bound to collapse without a fight, and Yuan Shao has more than 100,000 troops and is unable to return to the sky. Defeat is assured! ”
"Huh? Cao Cao actually had an army of 100,000? Li Li groaned and looked inside the city gate again. As far as the eye could see, there was a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping, panicked people rushed for their lives, many people were fleeing to the south gate, and then turned around and ran back after seeing the army outside the city.
At this time, the figure of Cao Jun's soldiers was no longer visible at the south gate. And the Yuan army stationed at the south gate fled without a trace. Seeing that Cao Cao did not leave soldiers and horses to guard the south gate, Li Li nodded lightly and did not find any suspicious signs. At this point, the worries in his heart gradually disappeared, and he was finally relieved.
The big stone that was pressing on his heart finally landed, and Li Li couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and asked in a calm tone: "Gong Jin knows that the scouts planted by our army outside the east gate last night were attacked. More than 200 scouts were killed. None of them are alive? Although the tone is calm, the implication is accountability. The scout team around Yecheng belonged to Zhou Yu's soldiers, but the fact that the hundreds of scouts outside the east gate were all wiped out was not the first to be discovered and reported by Zhou Yu. Isn't that a dereliction of duty, and what is it?
"Ahh Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this, and said in surprise: "There is such a thing? The last general did not ?????? The last general will be negligent and ask the Lord to punish him! Zhou Yu wanted to say that he had not heard about the scout's killing, but he swallowed back when the words came to his lips, because this incident came from Li Li's mouth. There is no doubt about its authenticity. This can only be said for one point, that his scouts were indeed silenced. And he didn't know anything about it. This kind of thing happened under his Zhou Yu's account, this is really ?????? This made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Li Li shook his head lightly, "That's it, now is not the time to hold accountable, the most important thing is to find out this group of thieves immediately." I suspect that these people were able to quietly get rid of more than 200 scouts in our army, which shows that their strength is not bad, and it is not just as simple as killing more than 100 scouts, but they must have a bigger plan. Yi Gongjin did not need to rush to lead the army into the city at this moment, but led the army back to the camp, and dispatched elite soldiers to search the thirty miles around Yecheng, and be sure to eradicate all potential dangers. ”
"No, the last general will take the order." Zhou Yu responded. As Li Li said, Zhou Yu also felt that the gang of thieves had the ability to kill hundreds of scouts unknowingly, which was indeed not simple, and perhaps these people had a bigger conspiracy. This potential threat must be eliminated as much as possible, otherwise the legacy will be endless.
Immediately, Zhou Yu led his 70,000 cavalry to quickly leave the south gate and returned straight to the camp on the north bank.
Seeing Zhou Yu lead the army away, Guo Jia said puzzledly: "It's just a small group of thieves hiding their heads and tails, so there's no need to make such a big move, right?" The lord seems to be deliberately supporting Gongjin? ”
Li Li bowed slightly: "Fengxiao's words are wrong. Don't despise this group of thieves, you must know that this is the first time since the beginning of our army's conquest that a scout team of more than 200 people has been wiped out, and this is enough to attract our attention. As for taking Gongjin away, it's just in case. After all, Yecheng is so big, Cao Cao has already led tens of thousands of troops into the city, if our army of more than 100,000 cavalry enters again, it will inevitably be overcrowded. What's more, there are 80,000 war horses behind us, which is enough to sweep away the remnants of the enemy in the city, and there is no need for Gong Jin to lead the army into battle. Therefore, I led the army into the city, and Gongjin garrisoned outside the city, in case of an emergency, it could also be combined with the outside. In the current situation, we should be cautious and not negligent. ”
Guo Jia smiled happily: "What the lord said is very true, and Weichen has been taught. Be careful everywhere, this is the most reasonable thing for soldiers. Hehehe! ”
Li Li smiled and bowed, beckoned Dian Wei to step forward, and commanded in a low voice: "Evil Lai led the Tiger Ben Battalion to guard the south gate, and he was not allowed to leave half a step without the order of the general, let alone hand over the city gate to the Cao army garrison at will." Dian Wei received the order, and immediately led the Huben battalion to lead the city and take over the defense of the south gate.
Immediately, Li Li didn't say anything more, raised his hand and waved, and led Guo Jia, Huan Fei, Gongsun Zhan, Kebineng, Li Zhi, Chen Dao, Huang Lie, He Man and others to slowly enter the city gate, followed by Jin Yiwei and 50,000 cavalry from the Flying Bear Battalion, and entered Yecheng in an orderly manner.
??????“ Slow down! The armies stop advancing! ”
When Li Lijun walked through Nanmen Street and turned to Yuan Shao's mansion in the middle of Beimen Main Street, Guo Jia's expression suddenly changed, he screamed in shock, and stretched out his hand to hold Li Li.
Hearing this, Li Li raised his hand, signaled the army to stop, turned his head and asked, "Fengxiao, this is ???????"
Without waiting for Li Li to finish speaking, Guo Jia interjected: "No! The entrance of this alley has been altered, and there is not even a single pedestrian on the street, it is too quiet and eerie. The shape is not right, there is fraud! As he spoke, Guo Jia looked around, his face became worse and worse, and his eyes became colder and colder, so that his whole body trembled, as if he thought of something extremely terrible.
"Woohoo!" At the moment when Guo Jia looked around, a sporadic cold light suddenly shot out from the attics on both sides of the alley, and the target was all focused on Li Li, who was sitting on the back of the Golden Lion Beast King.
"Ah, my lord, beware!" Guo Jia saw the cold light like a meteor for the first time, and suddenly he exclaimed without thinking about it, and quickly leaned over to block in front of Li Li.
"There's an ambush!" At the same time that Guo Jia exclaimed, Li Li, Li Zhi, Huan Fei, Huang Lie, Kebineng and other five people shouted in unison, and the weapons in their hands were instantly raised above their heads, volleying against this sudden dark arrow.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Suddenly, the swinging weapon collided with the falling arrow, and the slamming sound exploded, splashing a dazzling spark. It wasn't until the arrows fell that Li Li and the others saw that these cold and bright arrows were by no means as simple as dark arrows, but giant crossbow arrows made of pure iron several feet long. This kind of crossbow arrow is no stranger to Li Li and others, it is a specially made and lengthened crossbow arrow used in the crossbow, each arrow is four feet long, thumb thick, like a javelin. In addition, the distance is quite close, and the crossbow arrows are shot from the attics on both sides condescendingly, with extremely strong impact, great force, amazing lethality, and fierce and unmatched.
Because of this, although Li Li, Li Zhi, Huan Fei and others reacted quickly, they still underestimated the huge impact of the crossbow arrows, so that more than ten crossbow arrows still had no strength after hitting the weapon, and they fell straight down, instantly shooting several personal soldiers around Li Li. One of the missed bolts struck Li Li straight in the chest, but Li Li didn't notice it.
In a flash of light, this fish that slipped through the net was blocked by Guo Jiakan, who pounced sideways in front of Li Li, so that Guo Jia's left arm was instantly pierced by a crossbow arrow, and the arrow that broke out of the body pierced Guo Jia's left chest.
"Ahh Guo Jia, who was suddenly traumatized, screamed in pain, and then his body slipped off Li Li's right shoulder, landed on the back of the Golden Lion Beast, and then continued to slide.
Li Li was shocked by Guo Jia's screams and broke out in a cold sweat, and dense beads of sweat the size of soybeans overflowed on his forehead. At the moment when Guo Jia slipped off the back of the Golden Lion Beast, he saw Li Li reach out and grab it, holding Guo Jia who was about to slip off the horse, so he put it on the back of the Golden Lion Beast King and protected it in his arms.
"Fengxiao, Fengxiao, how are you?"
"Ahem, ahem! Don't shake the lord anymore, Weichen 、、、 fine. As soon as he finished saying that it was okay, Guo Jia spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood fell on Li Li's black dragon scale armor.
While swinging his sword to shoot down the crossbow arrows, Li Li lifted Guo Jia up with one hand and let him sit on the back of the golden beast. Unexpectedly, when dragging Guo Jia's body, the crossbow arrow that pierced into his chest fell out, and only a trace of blood was on the end of the arrow.
After seeing this scene, Li Li let out a long sigh, and the heart hanging in his throat finally fell. Only then did he remember that the battle armor on Guo Jia's body was the dragon scale armor, no matter how powerful this crossbow arrow was, after penetrating the armor on Guo Jia's left arm, how could he still have the strength to pierce the heart armor on his chest again? It is important to know that the armor on the arm is soft armor, but the battle armor on the chest is a dragon scale armor with scales, and its toughness is by no means comparable to soft armor.
Seeing that Guo Jia had no worries about his life for the time being, Li Li was shocked, and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order, the rear team becomes the front team, retreat to the south gate, withdraw!" ”
Before the words fell, Li Li's legs clamped the flank of the Golden Lion Beast King, the Golden Lion Beast was extremely spiritual, and immediately turned sideways, carrying Li Li and Guo Jia to gallop wildly.
?????? After entering Yecheng, it is not so easy to get out alive.
